I bought one of these. The new version has HDMI if your intrested in films..You can still buy the Mk.1 with with just composit for half price. I connect it to the LCD TV for the menu, connect an outboard HDD full of FLAC's to the USB (The cartridge you buy for it is too expensive), theres a USB aswell on the front to connect a dongle so you can stream from your puter or theres a LAN on the rear if you wish to use that instead.Has optical output to connect to a DAC to bypass the shitty sound card.

Hamish,just buy a cheap digital photo frame to use as a miniature monitor.I believe this is what Stan does,perhaps he could comment.

I was looking at one other day as i had the same thoughts but they only have a USB & SD card reader!

Stan was doing this.Not exactly certain how he was doing it though.He did post about it on a thread ages ago.
